SCAC stands for Standard Carrier Alpha Code and is a unique 4-letter code used to identify a carrier or transportation company. The SCAC may be a required field on the Advance Ship Notices you send to your Trading Partners.  

To find the SCAC you should use: 

  • Reach out to your buyer or Trading Partner contact. Some Trading Partner's may have specifications for which SCACs can be used.

  • Reach out to the carrier or transportation company in question. 

  • Perform a search online.
